Diagnosis. Carapace with incomplete lateral ridge, from anteroventral corner to mid–lateral part of carapace, anerior portion of carapace rugose, without tubercles; eyelobe without spine. Maxilliped 3 unknown. Telson 0.9 uropod peduncles, with 6 pairs of lateral setae. Adult male unknown.

Remarks. The most similar species is Bathylamprops pagesi, which also has ridges on the carapace. However, B. caperatus can be differentiated from B. pagesi by the telson and the eyelobe. In B. pagesi, the eyelobe has a distinct spine, and the telson has four pairs of lateral setae, while in B. caperatus the eyelobe has no spine, and the telson has six pairs of lateral setae.
